tube board.


(vacuum, get it?)

Thinking I will get either another PP2+ or a Walrus Aetos. Just made a decision to put a board together again. Getting a new power supply and going to commit to using my old DIY board that I made from a tool case. It is about 16" x 12", could easily hold 8 regular sized pedals. For the last 2 years my board has been disassembled and ideas have been in disarray. I suck at collecting things and it fundamentally bothers me to keep things around that don't get used. So my plan will be to just stick to my board and rotate pedals in/out of my life as needed. This feels like a big deal for me because it has been a nagging source of frustration due to indecisions. This is how I begin to start over:

That's a beautiful board, ctc!

Some noice peds, I'm very interested in those revolvers

Assembled this board for a solo set this Saturday. Doing electric guitar & vocals. Guitar goes Ct5 -> Pitchfactor -> Dream Reaper - > Spectre -> No Memory -> Happiness -> Possessed -> Pretty Years -> DL4 -> Gen Loss || Vocals go Accountant -> Reflector (fuckin sick octave up sound for vox) -> Echo Degrader -> Supermoon Chrome.
Also these are some damn fine boards!

I believe that you sir, have won ILF and as such, the internet.

Broadcast goes straight on the board

that is one ugly DL4.

I was under the impression that if you owned a DL4, you had to make it your own brand of ugly.

Same changes has been made.

The white thing up top is a reverse A/B switcher by AE so you can switch between two basses [in my case my NS upright and by bass guitar]
Got a X-blender, love it, it's awesome, you all need one, go buy one.
TYM mud fuzz, yes some one finally made a pedal named this! it... a huge sounding gated fuzz with a lot of mids vs trebles, it is my new synth sound pedal. the rest you all have seen many times, and stuff..

I've been changing things a lot lately trying to get the right sounds in my current band. Hopefully, this latest configuration works.

Korg Pitchblack Mini Tuner → Fairfield Circuitry Feedback Looper → Electronic Audio Experiments Claymore overdrive/distortion→ Iron Ether QF2 Multi-band distortion → Fairfield Circuitry Feedback Looper → Rehoused EQD Tone Job EQ/Clean Boost → Catalinbread Belle Epoch Tape Delay → Triode Pedals Hexagon Delay → Walrus Audio Descent Reverb → TC Electronics Ditto X2 Looper

Yeah. Sold all my DL4s. Frees me up to explore some other glitching looping pedals. Thinking hard about a CT5, 856 or even an RV3. I could always get another DL4. Heck, I can get one this afternoon...

Thanks! It's my rock bottom I guess. My setup didn't change for 3 years after I built this board. Ditching velcro for metal brackets and screws was much more symbolic than I had imagined it would be, sort of making my pedals more permanent in my setup. I have pictures of the build process, maybe I should post a DIY pedalboard tutorial thread?

The Ping Pong mode is beautiful. Lots of versatility built into the pedal throughout all the modes and covers similar ground to other freeze and glitch pedals. At this point I think the Revolver is sort of the foundation for how I am rebuilding my setup. It is a lot of fun to use it to resample another glitch or loop.

What's the story with the green bixonic looking thing?

Its an Antech Vintage Germanium Fuzz, essentially a fuzz face. Made by my guitar tech friend here in town. The enclosure itself is just a 4" round electrical junction box wrapped in fabric. Circuit is point-to-point wired and definitely modded to his specs, not matching any schematics I have come across. It was never my #1 gain pedal until now, by default. May swap it our for something else in the future.

I love your boards dude. I want to slam that Moog shit with a hot preamp so bad. They sound awesome with actives. Ugh.


So the Tym pedals are worth it then?? I follow him on Instagram but I've never understood his pedals as they all look like they are the same? I think that's the gimmick though. Limited controls, but vast sounds. Did you do vids of that one?
